Two farmers were kidnapped by suspected gunmen in the Oke-Ifira/Idogun forest area of Akoko South-East Local Government in Ondo State.A relative of one victim reported the incident to police and Amotekun Corps, claiming the abductors demanded N10 million ransom.However, the Ondo State Police Command confirmed the incident but stated they were unaware of any ransom demand.A joint security team involving police, army, Amotekun, local hunters, and community volunteers is conducting search and rescue operations.The police urged anyone with information to contact them.The incident highlights ongoing security challenges in the region, with similar kidnappings and attacks reported in other parts of Nigeria.
